RICHARD MORGAN · 02-23-2004, 08:52 PM

THAT TRUCK IS SO SWEET..GOOD JOB !

FRENCHBLUE72 · 02-23-2004, 10:28 PM

Sweet a$$$ truck man look's like everyone is getting thre project's done this winter..

**JIMs70GMC** · 02-23-2004, 10:30 PM

I tell you I looked that truck over and it is sweet. Dean has really put a lot into it. I also saw the blue/white one and it is also very impressive. Randy, I let you drive mine. ha, ha.
Dean, I tuned up the 71's engine and it sounds good. I'll probably tighten up the headers so I can at least start it and hear while I swap parts.

blue_69 · 02-23-2004, 11:04 PM

i normaly wouldnt like green but that is dead sexy can wait to see it all done

Blue Beard · 02-23-2004, 11:08 PM

I see you found the wheels..........super looking ride...

Dean · 02-24-2004, 08:41 AM

Thanks for all the comments. Hopefully the new grill & bumper will go on this weekend.

Jim - Glad to hear that engine sounds good. I thought it was a good engine. At least it is quieter than my green one with no exhaust...lol

Coma · 02-27-2004, 01:58 PM

Do you know the name and/or paint code for the green? I really like that color.

MMGOODIE · 02-27-2004, 02:19 PM

The first time I seen those wheels I fell in love with them. Funny enough they were on a 69 deep blue LB and I wasn't any older then 10.

BTW nice truck. I really like the colors

KSSeverance · 02-27-2004, 03:49 PM

Wow! That's beautiful! Someday I hope to do a nice clean one like that. Maybe even a crew cab if I can dig one up.

Zumo · 02-27-2004, 03:56 PM

I love that truck. I hope to build one just like it one day for my son except with cab lights.

Dean · 03-05-2004, 03:45 PM

Here is what the truck looked like when I bought it. This is with the old body. It had a cam in it that sounded like John Force's funny car....lol. A house light switch turned the heater blower on. Lots of duck tape inside and shag carpet...lol I could go on.

86k10 · 03-06-2004, 12:10 AM

Hey nice truck and especially the wheels. Do you have any more? The only thing I miss when I changed from 6 bolt wheels to 8 is my turbine wheels just like yours, they are just laying in the shed doing nothing. Where did you get yours from if you don't mind my asking.

dinnut · 03-06-2004, 12:54 AM

86 k10 you could sell those turbines.... people would buy them, a lot of people liek them and they are pretty hard to find

casey · 03-06-2004, 02:49 AM

klick! save! man that is o0ne sharp truck, nice job you did of that, make sure you put into truck of the month Dean

86k10 · 03-07-2004, 12:28 AM

Hey Dean how wide are your turbines, it's been so long since i've looked at mine but I'm thinking they are 15X10. I have a couple of pics of them somewhere, i'll see if I can find them and maybe for the right price we can find them a home.

Blunova · 03-07-2004, 12:32 AM

Hey that looks good must be fun!!!!!!!!

BLACK AND BLUE 67-72 · 03-07-2004, 12:57 AM

Excellent job Dean, that is one sweet looking truck!!!!

**70cst** · 03-07-2004, 10:12 AM

I must be getting old...When I was a young pup I hated GREEN...Now in my old age I like what I see...As a matter of fact when I complete the "Circuit Rider" I will keep the original colors of two tone GREEN. That GREEN does look good!! GREAT JOB DEAN. Hopefilly when my truck grows up it will look something like yours except it will be a 2 wd and it a 70cst.

Dean · 03-08-2004, 09:04 AM

My turbines are 16.5" diameter. I'm thinking there are like 9 3/4" wide but I could be wrong on that one. I actually saw a 70 C20 for sale with these wheels on it for $300.00. I stopped and offered him $100 for the wheels and they were mine. Granted they were very rought when I got them. A little welding, a lot of blasting, new lug nuts and here I am. I agree on the hard to find part.
